FAREWRLL SERMON.

Address of Rev. Erastus BIakeslee At
 the Second Congregational Church
 In Fair Haven Yesterday.
 Rev. Erastus Blakeslee preached his fare well sermon yesterday morning at the Sec ond church in Fair Haven. There was an unusually large audience present Many from the city were also in attendance.
 Mir Blakeslee's text was from Matthew, 25, 10: ''The door was shut"
 He spoke in substance as follows:
 ''The first sermon which preached in this pulpit as your pastor was from the text Behold, have set before thee an open door That door, opened of Gods good providence, is now closed. Naught remains but a nasty backward glance and new girding of our selves for the future. A separation of this kind brings many conflicting emotions. At the nightfall of a busy day we can hardly help breeding little over the past. As we do so, faces come dropping out of the shad- ows, faces once familiar here, but now seen here no longer. My first Sunday among you was hallowed by funeral. Since then on Sundays and on week days at short intervals and sometimes in the midst of most trying circumstances, l have called to minister in the Lords name over the pre-  ed on heads white with the snows of many winters and on the dimp1ed cheeks ot child hood, alike cold and motionless; men, more than you would think, did you not know the story of their years; men, in the midst of life, sturdy and strong, cut off, as it were, by a hghtning's stroke; husbands, wives, fla liners, mothers, sons and daughters, some with "beautiful Zion, built above" already revealed to them in spirit, have gone before, leaving desolation and tears behind. In the hours when night was darkest in some of your homes it has been my blessed privilege to let in 8 little of the light of Gods friendly countenance on troubled souls. My heart has gone out to all such in great tenderness. Let me once more say to them, God bless you and give you all needed grace and comfort. To us who are left these thoughts bring solemn warning. Why should one be taken and an- other left? God only knows. But the great lesson is that we who remain make ready for the day fast approaching when for us, too, the end shall come.
 The departing pastor now alluded to cheer ing evidences that his labors had been fruit ful and that the church had increased and prospered under his care. He spoke with pleasure of the growth and strength of the Young Peoples Christian Endeavor society of the church and of the satisfactory outlook of the church and society in general. Spiritually and financially they had prospered. The society was now freed from debt and a considerable sum had been spent on the buildings, and under the weekly offering system the benevolent contributions had about doubled With earnest, loving words and exhortation for the spiritual we'll being of his people, and appealing to all present who might not be Christians to fol low Christ, the pastor closed.

 Ezekiel H. Trowbridge, Esq, of the board of directors of the Consolidated road, was shown the following from the New York Times of yesterday:
 NoRwALK Conn, Nov. 5.-It is reported that an agreement has been reached by which the Consoli- dated road is to have lease of the Housatonic road and it's leased lines January 1888. It is prob able that Mir. Stevenson, to whose management these results largely due, will succeed MT. Reed SIS vice president of the Consolidated road
 Mr. Trowbridge said in reference to the above: "It is not true. The subject has not been under consideration so far as the Consolidated road is concerned. There is nothing in it."

New Improvements

 still further and notable improvement will be made at the Union depot which no doubt will be much appreciated by the tray cling public.
 Since the advent of President Clark many changes have been wrought along the line of the Consolidated. Among the list is the ad- dition to the south end of the Union depot here, which contains the quarters of the off, cers who recently removed here from the Grand Central depot at New York and the new quarters of the Adams Express com pany. The new frame building being erect ed on the north end is almost completed and will be soon ready for occupancy. Here will be the baggage department, which will be great improvement over the old one.
 The management will now convert the old or present baggage room and the old guar. ters of the Adams Express company into convenience of the public. The exits will be on a level with the depot platform and with the street pavement, and when there is great rush of passengers into the city the new exits will be of the greatest convenience, doing away with the unpleasant jams and
 
 be surmounted by handsome archways Progress of the Block Signal system. Another great improvement on the Con- solidated road is the new block signal system now being put up at the various sections of the Consolidated and which has already been made. One of the many signals is now be- ing erected at Milford. This work will be pushed as rapidly as possible and will cost a large amount of money, but will aid in mak- ing the Consolidated road one of the best equipped and safest in the United States This Improvement is in keeping with the policy and spirit of the management, which is doing everything possible for the protec. tion and safety of the public.
 An Era i'm Railroad1ng in New Eng

 These improvements together with the road ballasting of the Consolidated from the south ern end to Bridgeport, which is so important @ work and will take two years more to com plete, the building of new $100,000 bridge over the Connecticut river, the building of @ $200, 900 new depot at Hartford, the building of new roundhouse at Springfield, the re- cent enlargement of the Union depot in this city, the building of the new railroad bridge at Howard avenue in this city, the laying of an additional double track at the southern end of the road, the building of new depots in Brsnford and other places, mark an era of Improvements unexampled in the history of the Consolidated road and is notable in the history of railroading in New England.

Not Thought of-NO Increase of the Consolidated Roads Capital Stock.

COhSOAOdIeO H6Oa0'A Sdp1GdA StOcAs
 Another brief dispatch appeared in the New York Times of yesterday, stating as follows:
 NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. 5.-President Clark of the New Yerk, New Haven and Hartford railroad said to-day that his road had not contemplated in creaSing it's capital stock from g. 000 600 to 0O 09O. The report that the road was in favor of an extra session of the Connecticut legislature, and if allowed to make such an increase would agree to pay for the abolition of all crossings grade in the State, he pronounced as false. It true he said, that Governor Lounsbury had expressed a desire to see him in Hartford Monday to talk over the proposed extra session. and he should be there.
 MT. TrowEridge said in reference to the $4, COG, ,000 or $5, ,000, GOO increase story that the denial of President Clark covered the whole ground. The subject had never been mentioned by the railroad authorities. Pres ident Clark was, as stated, to have an inter view with Governor Lounsbury today. at which the subject of the abolition of grade crossings would come up

OPENS TOMORROW EVENING.
The Chrysanthemum ExhibitIOn-Tht
 First in This City.


 First in This City.
 Tomorrow evening (the 9th) there will be opened at Lincoln rink the first chrvsan- themum exhibition ever held in New Haven. It is hoped that all our citizens will avail themselves of the opportunity to see what will undoubtedly be 8 very fine display of this beautiful flower. Thomas orchestra will by it's enlivening strains add to the attrac- tions of the occasion.
 The exhibition will be continued through the 10th and the 11th. The admission has been put at the low price of 25 cents so that all lovers of flowers may nave the pleasure of witnessing the show.
 A New Haven gentleman who attended the chrysanthemum exhibition held in New York last year said it was the most beautiful sight in the way of flower show he had ever seen No one who has not had the privilege of witnessing suchan exhibition can form any idea of the manifold shapes and colors dis played by this flower. We trust the exhibi- tion will be largely attended. FASHION AND CHRYsANTHEMUMs. A lady writes: F'What potent, tyrannic- capricious ruler fashion is How it orders | it's subjects to admire, and how to ridicule | precisely the same thing. "How beautiful! we exclaim when fashion commands. But capricious fashion dethrones the before favor l ite, and then we cry: 'How hideousl" Not
  | wear, but even the flowers we should ad- | mfrs.
 Thank nature, however, that in this realm | she can never call upon us, as she often doei \ in matters of dress, to admire the hideous for there is no such thing as hideous flow CT.
 | She does, however, frequently single out some flower before rather obscure, and give \ it for time much notoriety. We have al heard of the tulip craze. The sunfower hal also had it's day. The modest daisy wa abashed at the prominence given to it, ane l now the brilliant chrysanthemun | reigns queen. Though the ground is strewl l with withered leaves and the trees look bleal ! and bare, this flower in it's endless variety O color recalls the many tinted autumn leave l and the glory of the October woods. If an. doubt that this be so and wish to see tn flower in all it's beauty to appreciate in som degree it's wonderful range of color and form let them go to the exhibition at Lincoln rink
 which opens on the evening of the 9th.
